Do you use aloe for medicinal or cosmetic purposes?

Hi friends! What kind of aloe is it? Will it be possible to use it for medical or cosmetic purposes later when it will grow bigger, or it is just a decorative type?

How do you use your aloe? I remember, when I was small, my grandmother was cutting aloe leaves in tiny pieces, after that she mixed them with honey and was giving me when I had cough. Is this the right aloe to do it or which type is the best to use?

Thank you!
